Crypto Market Remains Calm Amid Regulatory Developments

The cryptocurrency market started August 10 calmly, with Bitcoin consolidating around $65,000 and Ethereum holding near $1,919. However, the main news came from traditional finance, where the FCA is discussing rules for tokenized gold, Grayscale withdrew applications for three altcoin ETFs, and the NYSE is preparing an on-chain platform for securities settlements.

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is negotiating with major banks and market participants on a regulatory framework for tokenized gold. The discussion is taking place amid government interest in making gold turnover faster and more efficient.

Grayscale Investments abandoned registration statements for three exchange-traded funds on altcoins: the Grayscale Cardano Trust ETF, Grayscale Hedera Trust ETF, and Grayscale Polkadot Trust ETF. This means a pause in plans to launch these products.
